  I live in finland , every house and apartment has a sauna, we go to the sauna all the time. Sauna is a place to relax, feel warm, wash and socialize

  There’s nothing like taking a plunge in a cold pool outside, right after coming out of steam room and in the middle of winter! I grew up in one of Scandinavian countries, there’s a culture of sauna, very common and accessible. Now I live in Canada, we have beautiful Nordic spa in Canadian Rockies👍 I also have infrared sauna blanket home👍 Sauna is not a health fad to me, it’s a must have integral of my wellbeing.

  Whether or not it helps with longevity is not as important for me, it makes my pain from commuting (hips and low back) and soreness from training (kettlebell and rucking) just melt away. And it helps me sleep at night.

  My cardiologist said no sauna for me due to my a-fib history. Not brought up on any literature I&apos;ve seen until I went searching for it. Thanks Doc!

  I bought my infra sauna in 2011. Over ten years ago. I have used it from 2-5 times a week since I bought it when I was in my late 30s. I know it has had a dramatic effect on my overall health. Undisputeable. I look around the same age as when I bought it, in my opinion to some degree thanks to the sauna. When I was 15 in 1987 I lost my leg above the knee to osteosarcoma. A rather rare type of bone cancer that’s generally strikes young boys in the ages of 13-18 years old. I underwent a year of chemotherapy and thAt had lifelong adverse health effects like loss of hearing, tinnitus, kidney damage, heart damage and more. Thankfully I feel real good today at 51 years old, and despite the chronic damage I work out strenuously 3-4 times a week and on non workout days do an hour to 75 minutes in the sauna at 55 degrees Celsius. It isn’t quite a miracle worker, but in my case close. The past decade I have been in dialysis due to the cisplatin chemo that damaged me in many ways. Fortunately I need not remove fluid while in dialysis because I get rid of excess water when in the sauna which has a dramatic effect on heart health. Dialysis is generally very hard on the body awhen you need to remove a lot of fluid because the kidney’s are no longer producing urine. Because the sauna removes this through sweat you can say for me or someone like me the sauna is indeed a miracle worker. Sweating is healthy and a normal way of ridding yourself of excess fluid and some toxins. Therefore I would never be without the sauna. If I skip a session or am lazy for a week or two I like other patients end to remove the fluid in treatment and feel so tired and the regular I’ll side effects of this treatment. I can’t recommend sauna strong enough for kidney failure patients. It can literally help save/ prolong your life and have you looking healthy.

  I sauna 3-5 time a week, as much as possible. Ever since I came back from Estonia in 2019 doing a retreat/training class there where we did sauna often I&apos;ve been hooked. Since then watched TONS of videos on it from Rogan, Dr. Rhonda Patrick, and many other channels. All I know is since then I&apos;ve added in Wim Hof&apos;s cold immersion and breathing and just those two alone have gotten my neck, shoulders and arms shredded... So I keep these as a constant, and mix it up with my weekly weight lifting, cardio and rowing....whatever I can do. But Sauna is awesome, just wish I could do ice baths more often with my daily cold showers.
